    Windows XP and Windows 7 are no longer supported by Microsoft (and they weren't when Windows Server 2022 was released), so there is no official documentation regarding their potential incompatibilities. Unfortunately, in this case, you'd need to test this on your own...

    Hello Bhatt.

    Windows XP and Windows 7 are client operating systems, Windows Server 2022 is a server operating system.
    The client OSs you're running are several years old, I don't think they could be able to run a modern server OS like Windows Server 2022. Furthermore, you will have to perform a clean installation: Windows XP and Windows 7 cannot be upgraded to Windows Server 2022.

    Bye.
